Rejected petition Commit to paying the £350million/week Brexit Bonus to the NHS on a monthly basis

The vote leave campaign during the 2016 EU membership referendum promised to fund the NHS by an extra £350million per week. However, it would be more efficient to pay this money on a monthly basis instead. The government should commit to this payment schedule.

More details

Now that we're finally free of the the burdens of membership of the world's largest free market, and now we no longer have to endure the freedom to live, travel and work wherever we want in the EU, the NHS is now due to receive the extra £350 million per week as promised by the Vote Leave campaign (headed by the current Prime Minister) during the 2016 referendum. However, the NHS will be able to spend this money more efficiently if receives it on a monthly basis instead of weekly. Pay up.
